ROW & Trigger Maru - Low Frame Rates

Video card is a GeForce 7600GS AGP with 256 meg of ddr2. System memory is 1 GB of Corsair XMS. Turning AF off didn't help much. I suspect its ROW which is causing the hit, but, is there anything I can do other than uninstalling the mod to bump my frame rates ?

Thanks

Card should be fine as long as you avoid the hi-res sea foam. You might upgrade the CPU a bit. I suspect my Athlon 64 3700+ is a bit slow. But your main problem is 1 gb of memory. Double that and you'll see vast improvement. And get rid of hi-res sea foam if you're using it. You can back off the refresh rate on the card to 70hz and never see the difference too.
